Thanks for delineating the plan, Sébastien.

There is a huge backlog of updated packages in Git.  Should I start 
filing the RFUs for uploads to experimental?

I have also started working on some of the rdeps and preparing the 
changes for making them work with Octave 4.0.  I will pursue this work as 
time permits.

Best,

Rafael
